The effects of spirits are many — far beyond what we, with the eyes of earth, normally reckon.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n One effect we often ignore, or do not connect, is disruption of electronics.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Air conditioners can go on the blink. So can a refrigerator. Or perhaps your computer, your modem, your router. Your phone. Lamps.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Satan knows this turf. Did he not fall as a bolt of electricity?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Delicate stuff,<\/span> based on the flow of electrons, are electronic systems. It doesn’t take much to disrupt. Car alternators. Television.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Those in deliverance ministry —\u00a0as well as those who investigate unsettled souls — will tell you it’s a classic sign, electrical effects, that something or someone may be roaming.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If this sounds far afield,<\/em> consider what Father Gabriele Amorth<\/a><\/span>, the famed (and recently deceased) exorcist in Rome, wrote (in An Exorcist Tells His Story<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/em>: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n “Demons occupy<\/span> a house and appear in\u00a0electrical <\/span>goods<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span>Let’s not forget that Satan and his followers have immense powers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>It is normal for domestic appliances to be involved and for demons [to] make their presence known via electricity.” (<\/em><\/strong><\/span>This was a priest who conducted thousands of exorcisms.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Think back on your own situations. Or glance at the “threads” on\u00a0a chat site<\/a><\/span> about what at first glance would seem like an innocuous household issue: smoke-detectors, set off mysteriously or at poignant moments.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It can be dust, <\/span>explain blog entries on this site; or a tiny bug; or a bad detector, triggering the system. Even a battery. And this is true: Such explanations are often the most probable. (One always considers physical causation first.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n One who goes by “sharma101″:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
“This is the second time<\/span> it happened. Loud alarm noise at 3 a.m. with frequent intervals of fifteen minutes. All the smoke alarms are hard-wired and with new batteries. Will be calling the maker of smoke alarm tomorrow to figure out the actual cause. Glad to know that there are others who have experienced it as well. Leaving the hallway lights open did avoid the alarm from triggering again. Going back to sleep again…”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Or (“jc Ortega”):<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
“Okay, it’s 3 a.m., the alarm in every room of my hopes just went off for about five minutes, and just certain alarms would go off randomly after that, the alarm in my basement would say something, sounded like ‘saw unit, saw unit,’ woke up in a panic.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Or, as another stated:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
“I have had this issue<\/span> and some explained I needed to get my house checked for the unknown. It turned out it was a spirit passing by and the spirit triggered off the alarm. After doing so, a spiritual cleansing on the house it stopped completely. Please don’t just sit back. It actually means you are not alone in that house. You cannot see them but they can see you.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Maybe. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
How does the author of that entry know it was a spirit?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Hopefully, not by consulting<\/span> a medium. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
As for “cleansing”: for us, that means prayer over every part of the house and administering blessed salt, anointed oil, or Holy Water (or all three).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
The point:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
There can be manifestations, and note the times: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Peculiar it is <\/span>how many of the entries (on this blogsite called “Houzz,” a secular one to do with normal household maintenance) explain that their alarms went off at the strange and some would say witching hour of three a.m.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
There is\u00a0“krismaly”:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
“Early morning 3:30 a.m.<\/span> suddenly all smoke alarms went off with high screeching sound and it was unbearable. I woke up and went around the house but I didn’t see any sign of FIRE or SMOKE. My home is all electric and no gas. I generally turn on my AC in the night I guessed better TURN OFF the AC and did. Suddenly sound didn’t go but later it went off. But still I couldn’t figure out what would have triggered for alarm. I read in one of the comments in this thread about a spirit but I don’t think such. Technically speaking change batteries or once in a while dust off or change the unit.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Or (“userkluk”):<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
“We just had ours to off again last night at 3 a.m. Happened about a month ago and I replaced the just replaced batteries and dusted them off. All was good till last night. They are hard wired and battery units.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Found this thread and am now convinced that our alarms have been hacked. Will be replacing the three oldest units with new ones as they come with the house twelve years ago and may be starting to fail.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Good luck to all and get some sleep during the day as they seem to fail at 3 a.m.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
And so forth.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Hmmm.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
No other hour is mentioned with such frequency.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
A last example (“bzarnoch”):<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
“Our smoke alarms just went off at 3 a.m. Why is it always in the middle of the night?”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Why indeed? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Or while we are reading or talking about something that could connect to the paranormal, or when someone who may have spiritual issues drops by, or when there just generally seems to be fatigue and unsettlement in a home? (Spirits do drain us.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Many times<\/span> have we heard folks complain of their computers acted strangely as they attempt to access something holy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
That’s called resistance. (Tell us your accounts<\/a><\/span>.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
When we spoke to a woman last week whose family owns a company of electrical contractors, she happened to say that her own alarm had once gone off in the middle of the night.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
And without any prodding, she mentioned that the time was three a.m.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
